In the suburi No. 3, should be hide the bokken so that the enemy can not see. 1:09

@2124161 What enemy? LOL

Ref. Saito Sensei's Aiki Ken, why have you changed the start to 4th and 5 th suburi ?

Hi

have a read of the comments below - I think your query is answered.

[magneticskull]

On each shomen strike, you perform tome (sword stop) as a two part process, your left hand stopping slightly before your right, creating a secondary "pivot" swing with the left hand as fulcrum. (the "main" swing uses the shoulders as the fulcrum)

Is this "2 part tome" intentional/part of your waza?

[Aiki33]

I think the important thing to establish here is that Aiki ken is in no way swordmanship. Aiki ken is a body development tool, and in no way meant to provide the Aikidoka with sword skills. See my comments below with regards to detail.

@Aiki33 Mah, this is sword fighthing from all sides... In real, more or all the aikido sword techniques are the same techniques of other martial arts, like Kendo, Kung-Fù, Okinawan Karate and Viet-Vo-Dao.

I practiced Viet-Vo-Dao for some years and i can say this with certainty.

Thank you, helped me a lot!

[tamas911]

the trusting technique looks incorrect to me

0:55 to 0:56 is a better example of the boken withdrawal.

I can also see light under your front foot, at this point, as you shift your centre.

With your feet flat you can drop your centre.

Heel up e.g. 1:31

Also, is this posture OK? 1:35 you look out of posture!
